Funny idea. Not too keen on the wall shadows. Nice color.

You look a bit like a younger Keifer Sutherland in this shot.

The light seems a bit harsh. Which one is the subject of the self portrait?

Meets challenge.

Objects in this image are closer to the background than expected. This causes harsh shadows from the lighiting. Suggestion: Move a good distance from the background, frame up the image and use a diffuser (throw a sheet over the light, bounce the flash off the ceiling) to reduce the darkness of the shadows and use a very low depth of field to blur whatever shadow is left over.

Lots of white space here that does not add to the image, in fact, it directly vies for my attention.

Score: 3

the shadows are very distracting and there seems to be no focal point or anything IN focus for that matter. Plus this is just odd.

too bad the focus is off. the flash makes huge shadows too.
